brompton

Hi:hello: 3 speed or 6? what gear set up do you use and why?

Hi:hello: has anyone entered a brompton race before? Looks fun day

This comes from another thread where I mentioned that honking on a Brompton is nigh-on impossible. I was it seems soon put right by those who do and can. So I had another go when out this morning and whilst I can do it just about, it doesn't feel natural, advantageous or 'safe' , whereas...

Last weekend put M+ tyres F&R on the Brompton, replacing a pair of Brompton Kevlar tyres that were wearing a bit thin on the rear. On last weeks genteel ride noticed that the rear felt a bit squirmy on a couple of occasions. This morning on a shopping run on damp roads and paths have found the...

Hi:hello: have any of you changed your brompton seat post? I feel I need to be sat up a bit higher on my brompton so I have bought the longer post to swap over. the only draw back is the saddle now will not push down so tight into the frame With it being longer. Anyone use the telescopic post...

Well now I know that removing the rear wheel is not that big an issue so no longer scary. Also know how to fit an M+ to a Brompton wheel. No sweat (OK, some swearing but I still have both thumbs). 2 Dragons slain and I feel EPIC!

I know on a brompton the parts need replacing more often than on a larger bike. I researched rims and various drivetrain parts need replacing often but what is your experience in how long the various parts last?

I've got a voucher code for 15% off on the Brompton site. I don't want any of their gifts or clothing & I already have all the bags I need. I wonder if I should just stock up on consumables while I have the chance - a spare chain, maybe replacement handlebar grips. Any thoughts? I don't want to...

I have a problem with my Brompton. The seat post keeps slipping. By the time I've cycled the three miles from the station to work, it has slipped about two inches. However, if I tighten the nut sufficiently to stop the slippage, I cannot fold and unfold the bike. Does this indicate some...
